Would Randy Moss even fit the St. Louis Rams' needs?

Get him! We are in the playoff hunt and could use him with our injury depleted WR’s. If we don’t grab him the Seahawks might.

The YAC statistic is a little confusing in this instance, as Moss is almost constantly double-teamed and thus it is hard to get YAC with two guys on you. When he is double teamed, he takes a play off, which is what most smart players do to reserve energy. I think, if he didn’t bring the baggage, Moss would be the ideal weapon for the Rams. If he draws a double team, which he invariably does, he opens up room across the middle and for jax.

If we could sign Moss and he doesn’t get angry that he isn’t thrown the ball in double coverage, then we would have a chance to actually win the game. 1 year contract, then trade up in the draft for AJ Green.

…if you recall, as soon as Mark Clayton was signed, it almost seemed like he was Bradford’s exclusive target and it was working. Even when Clayton wasn’t completely open, the combination of Bradford’s accuracy and Clayton’s hands led to a lot of hookups and probably left the Ravens wondering if they made a mistake. Moss’ athleticsm, height and hands will be the ultimate weapon for the Rams to stretch the field and get Moss some catches AS WELL AS open things up for the other wideouts and the running game.

Devaney, Demoff and Spags? Please get Randy Moss!!!

…you need a go route guy that is tall and even if he cant get wide open anymore, all he needs is a step on a guy and that should be plenty for Sam’s arm to stick it in there.

However the Rams should offer him what his skills are worth, not what the name is worth.

so we get Moss, we will see production increases by S-Jax and our WR’s. Even though he isn’t what he was, defenses still respect him. So he would be that guy who helps us get down field by breaking down coverages. But I’m worried about his mentality.

I just want to beat the stupid niners. Bring Holt back.

Here is the original article linked by jb22 over here.

My God they cut him outright……the real worrisome point was from OP’s article, reprinted in my comment:

some Vikings had grown disillusioned with his attitude. From the receiver’s uneven effort in practice to his displays of self-centeredness off the field, some veterans believed Moss was becoming a bad influence to young players like second-year wideout Percy Harvin

I mean we have Gilyard, brand new. We have Avery maybe if he comes back and can stay healthy. And we’ll probably have some draftee by the time next camp rolls around. As I said, its one thing to be in the coach’s doghouse but to have players think you’re a cancer to young stars is a pretty serious accusation for a team as young as the Rams to have to deal wtih.

Remember they cleaned house to allow young stars with great work ethics to come in and freely establish their leadership without having to defer to old stars used to losing, or in this case, maybe a future HOF’er who has all kinds of ego problems and sounds like an all around jerk. Remember when he said he smoked pot, but hey, only in the offseason! Yeah…great, Randy…

I love his skills, when he brings them, but the cancer charge is, to me, a deal breaker. But thats just me.

That when you can get a guy llke Randy Moss without giving up any picks you should probably do it. I’m sure you will hear plenty of things in the media saying how terrible an influence he is and how much of a diva he is but i think you need to take them with a pinch of salt. The Vikings are clearly gonna have to try and spin this into a positive move for them and they are hardly gonna say he was no trouble to anyone but Childress. The front office has shown they won’t put up with any crap so if he plays up cut him again. No harm no foul. Not everyday you get to upgrade your reciever core at this stage of the season

But isn’t S-Jax a monster compared to Moss, and SJ39 and Bradford have great chemistry, so if Moss starts something. I can see SJ39 putting him in his place. Moss ain’t got nothin on SJ

We’re not gonna set him straight, keep him in line, or change him. So the question is, is it worth it to have a guy who’s gonna speak his mind, who’s gonna have a big ego, who’s gonna slack off on some plays, who’s gonna complain, etc.? It’s a cost-benefit analysis. Which way it tilts I’m not sure, but I’d probably say it’s worth it given the dearth of alternative options at WR.

‘wants a ring and is willing to sit out this year if PO bound team doesn’t take him’ [loose translation]. What a jackass! I’d like to see him stay on the wire for a day or two before someone takes him.
